In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Fernández Rivas from the University of Twente to talk about what engineering actually means – and why you don't need a formal qualification to think like one.
Professor Rivas then takes us through microfluidics and the science of bubbles – and how both are opening doors in medicine, from needle-free injections to medical tattoos.
We also talk about what it looks like when researchers take their work beyond the lab, and why Professor Rivas thinks there's a real responsibility to make sure discoveries actually reach the people who need them.
Key themes:
What engineering really means, and who gets to call themselves one
Why modern science needs people who can work across fields
Microfluidics and its role in biomedical technology
The science of bubbles and where it leads
Needle-free injection systems – the challenges and the breakthroughs
